Chapter 107: : [Old Bath's draft commitment]

"Hey, kid. I'm waiting for you at nba. Remember to buy insurance before next time."
When Li Zhen left the field, Smash Park suddenly raised the volume to let him speak harshly.
Smash Parker was very unhappy with today's game. He didn't think he had fully learned this cunning kid, and he always let him opportunistically and outgoing assists.
At this time, Smash did not realize that Lee was really threatening his position, because he was pushed away by Kwame Brown before, and he did not hear Phil Jackson's almost naked `` draft commitment. '' He even felt that Phil Jackson stopped the game because he was completely disappointed with Bruce. This guy actually didn't score a point and fell twice. This is not an excellent test result.
And this is why Smash Parker can never be a top point guard.
In his thinking, only a single-handedly holding the ball and attacking the city is considered a meritorious service. Assist? Ranked in the secondary position. Moreover, Bruce Lee avoids playing for the entire trial, how could this confrontation be favored by the Lakers?
Li Zhen glanced at Smash Park indifferently, then took a shower and changed clothes under the guidance of the staff.
Phil Jackson took Old Winter out of the stadium and went to the office to discuss with Bill Duffy.
Bilda Fei very much hopes that Li Zhen will work in big cities, because big cities have higher commercial influence and can get more sponsorship.
The contract he signed with Li Zhen was a base salary plus a share, of which ... nba contract part basically has no income. The most important source is commercial sponsorship, but ... Bruce is now building his own sneaker brand, which is equivalent to a lot less. If you go to any small ball market, then you basically have little income. Small cities are not patronized by sponsors.
The most important thing is that he is only a US agent and does not enjoy an exclusive agent agreement.
In order to maximize his own interests, it is best for Bruce to stay in several big city teams.
Therefore, he took Li Zhen to the Lakers for the first training.
After all, the Lakers have a wealth of wealth, but now they are down. But the focus of public opinion is still here. Bruce plays next to Kobe Bryant, the first man in today's league. Every day is a hot spot. The commercial value is not so bad.
When the Lakers refused him to go to the training ground to watch the game, the agent, who had been in battle, had unprecedented anxiety. After all, this is also the only player in the team he has directly participated in the team's trial game. He didn't know what would happen, and he was even more worried that Bruce would not be able to handle the nba-level confrontation.
However, his uneasiness soon dissipated when Phil Jackson opened the door with a smile on his face and walked in.
In his expectation, the worst result was ... Bruce pushed the door open dejectedly and walked in, telling himself that it was over.
The satisfactory result was ... A staff member brought Bruce back, and then said programmatically: stay in touch.
The best result is: Lakers assistant Brian Shaw ran over and told him that Bruce played well and we were very interested in him.
But now, Phil Jackson, who never had hope for the rookie, walked over in person.
His sentence is: "If you can, we hope you will not go to any team to try out training."
"I promise to actively run the transaction to the lottery next, and then let Bruce wear the Lakers baseball cap at the draft!"
Phil Jackson is quite straightforward.
In fact, he had already called Sir Bass directly before entering the office. He told Old Bath: "We have to take action in this year's draft. Bruce Lee from Stanford fits our offensive system very well. He showed a strong chemical reaction in the short trial training and he led the entire team Offensive, and he has nothing to do with Bryant, very fit. He will be Bryant Robin. "
This evaluation froze the old Bath over the phone.
He hesitated for ten seconds, and then the super boss who brought the Lakers to the top asked: "What do I need to do? Sir, are we going to trade for a top pick?"
This is the spirit of the top boss and why the Lakers can prosper for so long.
If Phil Jackson calls Kupchak or Jim Bass, the answer is definitely a rhetorical question: Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure that the kid is suitable for the Lakers? Does he have any other hidden dangers?
But old Bath is not like that. He directly wrote the transaction check signed by the champion.
"No, I think we only need a top ten pick." Phil Jackson replied with a smile. He thought that no team would be crazy enough to pick ncaa's mop with the top pick. After all, mop is in nba. The yield rate is not high. As strong as Cameron Anthony, he was only selected in the third pick as a mop.
"After the lottery, let Kupchak trade a top eight lottery draw."
Old Bath nodded and promised over there.
Then, Phil Jackson walked into the office to make a draft commitment to Li Zhen's agent Bill Duffy.
Bill Duffy's eyes instantly showed an overjoyed emotion. But soon, as a professional broker. He is still under control.
And the price increase: "I think if it is just a lottery promise, it is not enough for Bruce to wear the Lakers ball cap at the draft? And, we have agreed to the trial training of several teams. . In case, can they make a more specific commitment? "
Phil Jackson smiled.
He knew what Bill Duffy meant.
"Our specific commitment is the top eight picks, and we are willing to give the rookie contract a due amount. The Lakers have never struggled with these things."
Phil Jackson took a step back and said, "You can also go to other teams for trial training. However, I hope that you will not conduct a trial training like this afternoon."
Bill Duffy estimated it.
Currently, Bruce's draft forecast has even fallen out of the top fourteen, and now the Lakers are willing to commit to the top eight. And here is Los Angeles, the largest city on the West Coast, as well as the first outside star such as Kobe Bryant.
It's all about maximizing benefits.
Since Phil Jackson is such a highly respected head coach, he is willing to give a promise.
Then ...
"Okay. I promised you the conditions. We will not be in a separate trial training for any team in the future. We will conduct such a trial training today." Bilda Fe promised.
In fact, this commitment is also superfluous. How can other teams conduct such trial training? That is, Kobe Bryant must break the routine today, otherwise it is basically to test static and dynamic data. Then do some shooting or dribbling tests, at most to put together the same batch of rookies for the trial training for the halftime game.
And what Phil Jackson wants is just in case.
He knows ... Bruce Lee's advantages can only be seen in this high-level actual combat. Test his static and dynamic data, you will find that he is not worthy of nba. And let him compete with a group of testers who have only how to behave in his mind. He may not even touch the ball, and he was knocked over in minutes.
"Also, let him do more physical training during this time. It is best to ask a professional trainer for a long-term exercise in Los Angeles, which will greatly help his future nba road."
At the end, Phil Jackson did not forget to remind Bill Duffy.
He even said intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually ... you can also come to the Lakers for training. But pay attention to the impact."
This is equivalent to treating Li Zhen as his own player, meaning ... can come to the Lakers Training Hall for free training.
God.
Bill Duffy was spinning a little bit, he couldn't wait to know what happened just now? Phil Jackson is so emphatic about Bruce?
Did he save Phil Jackson's life under a killer muzzle?
He couldn't help it.
After all, Phil Jackson has always been known for not loving rookies.
